  text: Decision makers increasingly rely on decision support systems for optimal
    decision making. Recently, special attention has been paid to process-driven decision
    support systems (PD-DSS) in which a process model prescribes the invocation sequence
    of software-based decision support services and the data exchange between them.
    Thus, it is possible to quickly combine available decision support services as
    needed for optimally supporting the decision making process of an individual decision
    maker. However, process modelers may accidentally create a process model which
    is technically well-formed and executable, but contains functional and behavioral
    flaws such as redundant or missing services. These flaws may result in inefficient
    computations or invalid decision recommendations when the corresponding PD-DSS
    is utilized by a decision maker. In this paper, we therefore propose an approach
    to validate functionality and behavior of a process model representing a PD-DSS.
    Our approach is based on expressing flaws as anti-patterns for which the process
    model can be automatically checked via graph matching. We prototypically implemented
    our approach and demonstrate its applicability in the context of decision making
    for energy network planning.
